The '''IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 Guide to Operations''', '''First Edition (September 1988)''', is the 69-page '''user''' setup and operation book that shipped with the PS/2 Model 30 286 (8530-E series). It is not a service manual. == What it contains == * '''Section 1, Getting Started''' — unpacking and installing the system, removing the diskette drive shipping inserts, connecting the keyboard, '''setting the voltage selector switch''', connecting the display and the mains lead, and the first power-on. * Using the '''Starter Diskette''' — the learning program, setting the date and time, copying the Starter Diskette and setting the system configuration. * '''Section 3, Operating Your System''' and the user-level problem determination list. == What it does not contain == No FRU numbers, no removals beyond user-installable options, no symptom-to-FRU index, no schematic, no component values and no rail voltages. For the service side of the same machine see [[IBM PS2 Model 30 286 Hardware Maintenance Reference]]. == What it settles == '''The voltage selector switch.''' IBM's instruction is explicit and is the one to follow before powering on an imported machine: if the local supply is '''90–137 V''', slide the switch '''right''', to 115 V (the United States and Canada, 100–125 V, use this setting); if the local supply is '''180–265 V''', slide it '''left''', to 230 V. Getting this wrong on a machine bought abroad is one of the commonest ways to destroy a working supply. <pdf> File:IBM PS2 Model 30 286 Guide to Operations.pdf </pdf> Download it here: [[:File:IBM PS2 Model 30 286 Guide to Operations.pdf|IBM PS2 Model 30 286 Guide to Operations.pdf]] == Related pages == * [[IBM PS/2 Model 30]] · [[IBM PS/2 Model 30 Maintenance Guide]] · [[IBM PS/2 Model 30 Troubleshooting Guide]] * [[IBM PS2 Model 30 286 Hardware Maintenance Reference]] · [[IBM PS2 Model 30 Technical Reference (January 1987)]] [[Category:IBM Service Manuals]] [[Category:Service Manuals]]
